Mr. Nice (NR)

synopsis

An Oxford physics graduate from the Welsh Valleys who became a drug-runner, dope aficionado, celebrated author and sometime spy, Marks here becomes the engaging antihero of a rollicking cinematic ride, based on his own hit autobiography. Bernard Rose (Candyman; Ivansxtc; The Kreutzer Sonata) directs a superb cast, with Ifans backed by Chloë Sevigny, David Thewlis, Omid Djalili and Jack Huston.
